Kali Linux 2022.4

If you exist in the grey twilight between good and evil, and want to look cool while doing it, David Rutland has just the distro for you.

Kali Linux is an evil distro for hackers, ne’er-do-wells and other undesirables who want to overthrow the state and sow chaos. You can tell because of the menacing wallpapers that feature evil-looking dragons, who are doubtless up to no good.

There’s also the vast array of tools designed for network analysis, penetration, password cracking and other such things, which we’ll get to shortly. They’re kind of a giveaway.

Rapidly approaching its tenth birthday, Kali is the go-to distro for individuals in the network security field, those wanting to get into the field, and people who want to look cool and mysterious while hammering on a keyboard in the local Costa Coffee.

The 22.04 release just squeezed in before the end of 2022, and in recognition of the essential nature of the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi, Kali has now been added to the Raspberry Pi Imager tool, so it’s simple to install this hacker’s toolkit on proper DIY hacker hardware.
